Busy Class: Test, Excel, Class Participation
Greetings all. Before I forget, I think this week's class will run longer than I first scheduled for. Lab 2 will not begin before 12 noon.
Congratulations to Jonathan and Alex in Section 1, and Christopher and Sarah in Section 2. You were our top vote getters, you each receive 20 extra credit points. I thought everyone did a great job, we had many excellent presentations, I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
This week we will have no lecture. We will begin in the lab room with Lecture test #2, on chapters 3 and 4. This test is harder than Lecture test #1, please study accordingly.
We will then begin Excel. Excel is fairly tricky, if you have some knowledge of it already, great. But we will be doing things you have never seen before, trust me on this. Make sure you have those thumbdrives with you, we will, after completing chapter 1, begin chapter 2 but not finish it. You will have to save your Ch. 2 file and bring it with you the following week.
We will then have our first class participation exercise. Our first topic of discussion will be social networking via the computer. We will discuss whether you do it, what you like and dislike about it. While we want to have fun with the discussion, it is a gradeable element, worth 15 points to those of you that show up and contribute.
We have some interesting students in this class, to say the least. I can't wait for the class participation discussion with these groups!!
Enjoy the nice weather, study hard, and we'll see you on Wednesday.

This week you will have your first test, Lecture test #1 on Chapters 1 and 2. I have enrolled all of the students who gave me their access cards, with two exceptions. I can't access Webadvisor this morning for some reason, so I can't get a phone number ofr Kim Casino. Had another issue with a student that I sent an email to. Everyone else is good to go.
Login format is: 1st letter of your first name, last name, bcc.
Mary Jones would be mjonesbcc
password is 10 digit phone no, plus letter 'a'. 7325551212a.
I have a number of students who did not give me their card. If I don't have your access code by 8:00pm Tuesday 6/15, you will not be able to take the test this week. You will have to take it the following week, and please remember you only get to make-up one test for the entire class. Please e-mail me those codes!!.
When we are done with the test, in lab we will do our one and only chapter in Powerpoint. We will have a lecture class starting (hopefully) at 11:00 on Chapter 3 in the lecture book.
Study hard and we'll see you Wednesday.
